Above.net's blocking of ORBS led to fewer and fewer networks using ORBS and
IMHO it contributed to the weakness that allowed the lawsuit to happen and
thrive. If ORBS had been a stronger service with more users, they might
have done things differently before or during the lawsuit.
What happens to Digital Island if networks (especially large networks)
start blocking them because they won't stop repeatedly scanning when
asked? Can it do them *any* good?
